Charting the internet pop world one blog post at a time.

Another deceptive beginning might make you think “Getaway” is intended to be a jazzy ballad. But once the rhythm kicks in, it becomes a happy marriage of pop, dance, and jazz styles from a collective from three countries: 17 year old newcomer producer Imad and vocalist Samia, both from Lebanon, with German producer Wave Wave, and White Trumpet from Romania! A lilting vocal by Samia carries the song all the way through, and I’m such a sucker for live instruments when the work by White Trumpet really stands out, particularly over a key break in the song that becomes a real earworm. Though I don’t think the song needed the vocal effects, I suppose they help bridge all of the styles going on. “Getaway” is a free download, so get it while you can at the above link.
